Nice herbal and woody complexity on the nose, notes of Thai Basil and Rosemary. Medium acidity, moderate+ black tea tannins. The palate opens with copious air, an elegant dark mineral focus closing with medium length and repeating its aroma. Textured and well dressed, this is quietly impressive and interesting.

It's obvious what this is going to taste like before you pop the cork, and honestly I don't know why I picked it up. Nose is a bit mousy, and I would drink these asap if you're so inclined. High toned cranberry juice and natty funk, tolerable just below cellar temp but only barely. Throw an ice cube in it and serve it to your alcoholic aunt so you can open something better.

No detailed notes, but very nice and drinking well. Obviously a baby, this will only get better over the next decade.
